Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2
  • I bought a second hand pixel 6a a couple weeks ago, my previous phone was the OnePlus 3, lasted me 5 years and at the time of purchase it was already a two years old second hand, bought them for basically the same price, 200€.

    How does everyone feel about Google Pixel phones?
  • My OP3 was dying and I needed a new poo phone, I can't afford buying things whenever I want so that's extra incentive to hold on to my devices, so after 5 years of use (the OP3 was second hand) I finally got the opportunity to switch phones and I got the pixel 6a (second hand as well)

    Honestly I love it, it's basically the same size and almost the same dimensions as my previous phone but with a bigger screen, the OS has some very cool and intuitive options here and there, the camera is better back and front, the battery is great for my use case, I appreciate having a new phone again that will still have decent software support.

    And all of this for around 200€, the same price I got my OP3 5 years ago, I'm really glad I could find such a good phone for this price.

    I used to mod a lot back in the day, installing custom roms, custom kernels, all kinds of apps, but that changed and I just use a DNS and ublock on Firefox, I'm not even planning to unlock the bootloader and root this one, I'm happy with stock, it has everything I need at this point in life.

  • Not the same person but I'm using Nova on my pixel, for starters icon pack support is a must to me, and then Nova lets me tweak things on a granular level, so I end up with much cleaner looking launcher, no search bar, no scrolling bar, customizable background color, text color etc and that's just a few advantages it offers.

  • You're not missing anything, people either think you're defending Rogan by pointing out the insult or they just don't care about the fact that the insult is degrading for peasants.

    Calling someone a peasant as a humorous jab is okay, but using it as a serious insult isn't.

  • Playing The Fractured But Whole for almost a month now, it's a pretty enjoyable experience and it feels just like playing an episode of the show, liking it a lot so far.

  • The Exynos variants of Samsung devices can have their bootloader unlocked, it's the snapdragon ones that can't and even then there are some instances where it was possible to do it, but it's still a hassle and the Exynos variants tend not to have good development support.

    Hey there guys, does anyone know if there are any French streaming websites that are safe and reliable ?
  • I do use ygg when I need to download something, but I'm talking about streaming here, just watching without having to download.

    Thanks though, I appreciate the help.

  • I checked the megathread but there doesn't seem to be anything reliable in there, either some obsolete links or some old links that look shady at best.

    Thank you

    Fuck me, I meant French websites sorry.

    Vanishing act: 87% of classic video games are no longer available commercially | The disappearance of classic video games
  • This is awful, to think that all this legacy would go to waste someday, I can't fathom having all these unique experiences, all these stories and love letters to genres and cultures getting lost in the vortex of time.

    I feel sad for the people that are just getting into gaming and them not experiencing games that made history, the good and the bad.

    Something like this should be preserved even if just for study purposes, for those games before the digital era, the only options that are left for us are either piracy or emulation, and thankfully we do have these options but yeah we really should have future proofed this industry in some way.

    Alan Wake Remastered video volume really low?
  • The audio mixing for that game is a bit off sometimes and they never fixed.

    There's also the camera problem where it always defaults to one side of the character even if you change it.

    I love the game, but yeah it's a shame they never fixed these problems.
